Full credit goes to Chris Myden at yycdeals.com for finding this offer:

Basically Expedia.ca has an offer code to save $300 off Flight+Hotel bookings to Las Vegas, New York and Cancun until Dec 30, 10. He has found dates where staying in some of the cheaper hotels with the promo code you can go to Vegas for $150 including tax per person (when searching for packages for 2 people) however it can get down to around $75 if you use the code for only 1 person at a time (ie multiple bookings)

I found this a little late and today is the last day to book but if you are an Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan member you can save 5,000 miles each way for award flights between Calgary and Seattle for travel Dec 1 - Feb 28, 11. The savings mean you can have a round-trip flight for only 15,000 Mileage Plan miles versus the usual 25,000.

Yesterday marked the start of a new direct bus service from Edmonton to Calgary International Airport via Red Deer. Based on a demand of over 5,000 passengers a year, Red Arrow decided to start this bus service for Edmontonians who were flying out of YYC. Red Arrow had operated a similar shuttle van service for 8 years and it obviously is popular enough that they have expanded it to a regular full size bus service.
